My thoughts on Luxury Cruisers - all opinion based.

I've been playing with the "Build It" on just about every premium/luxury car site I can. I'm off today so I have nothing better to do.

Audi - does nothing for me. I just can't behind them and the models I do find appealing spike into the 100K range instantly without options. Blah. Still love the R8 though.

Porsche - See Audi for the exact same thing. I could see myself in the Panamera S but again the options sky rocket and the content isn't what I would want to pay that premium for.

BMW - Not true luxury as much as they are Sporty Premium in my eyes. I like them and enjoyed a few 3 series models in my time. I prefer the 5 series of yore but today it would take a M series to gain my attention.

Cadillac - Design wise they are ok at best. They have awesome potential power trains in the V series cars. But the ride harshness isn't what I want for a Luxury cruiser.

Lincoln - Riiiiiight.

Mercedes - I'm not keen (HA) on the new E Class design but I wouldn't have a problem dropping the money on one. Actually I find the C class much more sportier with luxury offerings but it could get a bit cramped in there. Either the E550 or C300 Luxury.

Acura - If I wanted a Honda I would buy a Honda.

Chrysler 300 - It's the only model anyone with a right mind can call premium much less Luxury. The John Varvatos Limited though gets it damn close to Luxury. If it was offered with the 6.4/8SPD it would be a contender.

No I am bored at the moment. How am I high though...I did leave Jag out by accident when I posted this in the FB Forum but if I had to choose one it would be the XF Supercharged but hard to choose it over the E550.

just kidding. Although, I don't think you're giving Audi a fair shake. Their lowly 210hp A4 runs right with cars with 100 more hp, the S4 takes it up a few notches. Their lineup across the board is pretty damn sweet.

OfMyOwnAccord:What about Maserati, or Rolls Royce? I had fun creating a Rolls Royce Wraith.

No Lexus? Jag you already mentioned. Infiniti? Hyundai has a couple of luxury offerings too. :P There's also Land Rover and more.

Enjoying the ride, instead of getting it over with as soon as possible.

I did a price build on the Volvo S80 T6 AWD w/Tech and Dynamic Pak, plus some appearance upgrades for about 53k. I didn't go crazy with options. I liked it in the dark blue. There aren't many land cruisers out that don't break the bank, and are proper cruisers that you wouldn't mind having. You have go the used market to get a cruiser that is to your liking.

I know. It gives the vehicle a bit of a sporty look. It's great color to contrast off from. It's also easy on the eyes.

I agree on the E550, I drove the 2010 E550 4 Matic and that thing was awesome and the active bolsters actually work pretty good too.
